Andover Kansas tornado.
April 29th, 2022
Part one, looking south from central street.
.......Clarifications.....
It passed 700 yards east of us and the city building was spared by about 100 feet (lots of city vehicle damage though.)
I've been in KS for 60 years. This is the second twister I've seen and the first I've filmed.
My wife was upset and scared and I was an idiot to keep filming, but I had a very good grasp of where it was and I could see it was moving NNE. We had a basement just a few steps away. She was right to be as upset as she was considering how many people's live were at risk.
It was just us two at home, no pets and a basement 5 seconds away.
We just moved to Andover 9 months ago. It's a great town. Andover will be just fine and stronger than ever soon. Thankfully, nobody perished.
If you would like to volunteer or donate to the relief, please do....Here is the united way site www.unitedwayplains.org/disas...
I'm dedicating this to my mom. She passed in December 2021. She was raised on a farm in Ford Co Kansas. She always said when living on a farm, if you saw a twister, you "bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your A** goodbye"....I'm pretty sure she was driving this twister.

They are not. There are no "natural disasters", that's a judgment because they destroy our properties and endanger lives. It's just natural phenomenons. They wouldn't be disasters if there were no humans around to call them that. Also, these phenomenons are needed to step for step delete old structures which have been weighing down the earth's population a lot, we will most likely see more and more of these events coming.

I went through a massive tornado at a friends home in north Topeka back in 1978. The major damage it produced missed their home by a block, but devastated the large trees in their neighborhood sending one straight though the second story of a home about 6 houses down on the other side of the street from theirs. Could hear the roar and the house breathe with it. I had been close to others, but they were all rural and not as devastating. It was hard on my friends husband because he watched from the south end and knew it was close to his wife and little boy and he was feeling helpless. He cried when he finally was able to get through the damage and saw that they were fine. It took real courage to stand and video this. They can change direction and hop so quickly.

That was an incredible video. The fear that poor woman was feeling just gave us a glimpse of how terrifying it is to live through something like this. Glad you're both made it safely.

This is the best recorded sound of a tornado I have ever heard. Now I understand why they say it sounds like a train. It sounds just like one. Thanks for posting this.

This is some absolutely amazing footage! I'm glad you stayed and filmed, cuz you got some gold! I'm wearing ear buds, and I can really hear the rumble of that thing!! I live in an area where it's pretty much safe as can be from all natural disasters... so ive never seen or been around a tornado. We get warnings sometimes, but nothing like this ever happens.

I lived in Kansas my whole life. In 2005, I moved to Anchorage, Alaska where the most we get in the summer weatherwise is a rainstorm. Thunderstorms are an extreme rarity here. I miss the storm season in Kansas, but I DO NOT miss the front row seat to the destruction of lives and property. So heart breaking. I know it comes with the territory in Kansas and there's nothing you can do about it, but it's still sad. One silver lining though is all the people who drop literally everything to help and to stay until every last person has what they need. Kansans are a cut above the rest when it comes to helping their neighbor, even if their neighbor is miles or even several towns away. ❤️🌻🌪

Nice! I like how photogenic this was! Where the clouds were lighter white in the background, the funnel was darker grey, and vise-versa!

@peternemeth1777 Месяц назад

Congratulation to one of the best tornado videos I've ever seen. I was almost shaking just watching it pass by you so close. You risked your life but the result is amazing. Definitely your video provides valuable information for scientists in order to improve the prediction of such a tornado.

I thought the same.Then I wondered how many marriages ended over a situation like this.I see many where one insists on staying upstairs while arguing with the other to go downstairs...It’s really suspenseful and give her credit for staying by her husband.They both remained strong despite the test being put to them.

@holylandfan3275 2 года назад

I’m the same as the lady. It is disturbing on many levels to see everything many have worked for, for years, to be shredded within 1-2 seconds. She is aware that she could be watching people die. Unlike many ANNOYING and VULGAR CHASERS that CHEER it on and could care less, as long as they get the MONEY shot. 😡

@ajn9111 2 года назад

I’m also with the lady (the dude recording it should’ve gone inside), but that’s a huge mischaracterization of what chasers do. Huge, huge mischaracterization.

@wellhelltherefellwhuman4637 2 года назад

storm chasers don’t cheer them on. it’s a horrible thing to happen, but some people want to experience it in a safe way. it generally isn’t for money, it’s more for the adrenaline rush. storm chasing does seem pretty cool tbh

@Miistli 2 года назад

What chasers are you talking about? 🤔 I’ve only seen good people who chase for the love of it, to help with science, or both.
